Straw Decorations with Ministry of Straw

Create straw trophies and decorations with Penny Malty as part of our Beautiful and Useful Craft Fair 2025.

Penny Maltby from the Ministry of Straw will be leading this fun workshop in how to make a harvest trophy decoration. Using traditional corn dolly techniques and heritage wheat, you will learn how to tie the straw workers’ preferred knot and make a small item such as a love knot to practice your skills. Penny will then show you how to make your harvest trophy in a round or heart shape using the arrow plait and additional wheat heads, all adorned with a ribbon of your choice.
